Photoelectric Sensor Fault Finding Perth

Lectro Power Systems provides electrical troubleshooting for photoelectric sensors used for product detection, counting, positioning, and machine sequencing.
Symptoms We Resolve

COMMON PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR FAULTS

  • DIRTY OR BLOCKED OPTICS

    Dust, product residue, or contamination can prevent the sensor from reliably detecting the target.
  • MISALIGNMENT

    Through-beam and retro-reflective systems can fail when the sensor or reflector moves slightly out of position.
  • FALSE TRIGGERING

    Reflective surfaces, background objects, changing product colours, or electrical interference may create unreliable detection.
  • LOSS OF SUPPLY VOLTAGE

    A failed power supply, fuse, terminal, or machine cable can leave the sensor completely inactive.
  • DAMAGED SENSOR CABLE

    Moving machinery and repeated flexing can break conductors internally while the outer insulation still appears intact.
  • PLC INPUT FAULTS

    A healthy sensor output may not be reaching or registering at the machine controller.
The Lectro Advantage

WHY CHOOSE LECTRO POWER SYSTEMS?

  • SENSOR & PLC DIAGNOSTICS

    We test both the field device and the controller input.
  • MACHINE SEQUENCE EXPERIENCE

    We understand how one missing detection signal can stop an entire automated cycle.
  • PRACTICAL REPLACEMENT SUPPORT

    Where required, we can identify compatible industrial replacement sensors.
